amen.

i fell asleep with a rosary between my teeth, its beads hard in my mouth. sapphire cool on my warm tongue, i breathed a hallelujah and your praises bloomed red in my orchard. prostrate, i offered my soul at your altar, purified in the presence of your edifice. the rhapsody of your doxology is the pulsation of my bones as i crawl towards your salvation.
